Synopsis

Ren Scarborough is no longer the girl who was chased out of England—she is the Goddess of Death ruling Japan’s underworld. But Reapers have recently been spotted in Japan, and it’s only a matter of time before Ivy, now Britain’s Death Goddess, comes to claim her revenge. Ren’s last hope is to appeal to the god of storms and seas, who can turn the tides to send Ivy’s ship away from Japan’s shores. But he’ll only help Ren if she finds a sword lost thousands of years ago—an impossible demand. Together with the moon god Tsukuyomi, Ren ventures across the country in a race against time. As her journey thrusts her in the middle of scheming gods and dangerous Yokai demons, she will have to learn who she can truly trust—and the fate of Japan hangs in the balance.

"As the keeper of night and the end of all things, I give you my word that the shadows will walk beside you, and that you will never be alone in darkness." The Empress of Time picks up years after The Keeper of Night, but since Ren has spent all of those years trying to find Neven, it seems like no......more

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on October 03, 2022

3.5 stars rounded up I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book and I think it suffers a bit in the beginning from doing a ten year time jump from the end of book one. However, it still delivered a good story, a satisfying conclusion to the duology, and the creepy, dark Japanese mythology from boo......more

Goodreads review by Sahitya on October 23, 2022

It might be more of a 3.5. I’ve been pretty bad this year at keeping up with series and that’s what happened with this finale/sequel and I couldn’t read it before the release despite having both a digital and audio arc. The Keeper of Night was one of my top favorite reads of last year, so when I fin......more

Goodreads review by Sheena on October 05, 2022

I didn't like this one as much as the first. Some parts I found slow and boring but I do think that's because this was a little on the longer side in my opinion. I'm glad to see the series through though and happy it's a duology because I feel complete now lol. Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced......more
